CroDesign Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 After a recently purchasing a new computer and retrieving my backup files, I discoverd that I had misplaced the username and password needed to login to my store. The website is at: My Webpage Everything is working great. Just that now, I cannot access any of the admin functions such as adding or changing products. Is there a place I can login through ftp and edit a particuliar file to reset the password? Or an email password requester for the admin password and username? This is an install from a cPanel from my host and has undergone many visual updates to the layout of the pages. I would hate to have to rebuild it just because I cannot change the products or see the orders. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Guest Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 in /catalog/admin, there will be a file named .htaccess. delete it. -jared
CroDesign Posted February 25, 2004 Author Posted February 25, 2004 Hmmm... I have no catalog folder and cannot find an .htaccess file.
user99999999 Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Its a protected directory in your cpanel
CroDesign Posted February 25, 2004 Author Posted February 25, 2004 Thank you very much, that did it. Well, not exactly, but was close enough that I was able to find it. Thank you.
Dakota Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I have the same problem except that I have no store yet. I just want to login to the admin area. I have to enter a user name and a password. where do I get them from? I see .htaccess but what does deleting it do?
detsouvalas Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I have the same problem except that I have no store yet. I just want to login to the admin area. I have to enter a user name and a password. where do I get them from? I see .htaccess but what does deleting it do? Emmm ... as far as I know, the osC comes with the admin directory and the admin panel completely unprotected, so if any password is asked when you try to see the admin panel, it is because you have done something to protect it!! What have you done? To find out what .htaccess does, look for info about it through a search engine! And then you will also understand what will happen if you delete it! ;-) Best regards, Antonios Antonios
Guest Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 Hmmmm...I just reset my db password and did what you all suggested and still the same problem of not being able to log in. It tells me there is a problem with line 19 in the database.php file.
241 Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 CroDesign you can gain tempory access to the admin by renaming the .htaccess file to say 1 or something this will allow you access but at the same time your admin will not be protected so once finished rename the .htaccess file back again and you are protected this is a temp resolve, however you should be able to delete the .htaccess file and create a new one from your cpanel. NeoNiko the problem is actually in the configure.php files the catalog/includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php this is the line where you change the password define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '*****'); in both files No longer giving free advice.
